yup, you got me, that's no sock in my pants. thanks for mentioning my book. 5000 copies in Chinese are printing before year end, surprising me.

i'm bummed smarter people took me out of my fantasy land by educating me that alexa sucks. oh well. but i reworked the numbers comparing data sources, and facebook is probably anyway the most important SN today.

however this all plays out, it's great to be a social application developer this year.

@alleywag: And, yet, here I am. So what does that say about the value and integrity of my opinion?

@DaveMcClure500Hats: Right, Alexa wouldn't let me put a people graph together. And there were many complaints yesterday that we didn't use Compete's people metric.

fyi, i assume you realize you're comparing oranges to tangerines there... the Compete graph is people; the Alexa graph is page views.

If people count then I guess it's fair to call Valleywag the also-ran of tech news sites and the also-ran of the Gawker stable.

That book sounds like it was written by a super villain.
